Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Robotics
  • Human-Machine Interfaces

Background:

  • Transradial amputees require advanced prosthetic limbs for daily activities.
  • Existing prostheses often lack intuitive control over impedance and stiffness.
  • Surface electromyography (sEMG) offers a promising avenue for natural prosthetic control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a natural human-machine control interface for a variable stiffness transradial hand prosthesis.
  • To enable intuitive modulation of prosthetic limb impedance and position using sEMG signals.
  • To facilitate seamless integration into activities of daily living (ADL).

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a tele-impedance control strategy using sEMG signals.
  • Integration of variable stiffness actuation (VSA) for prosthetic hand control.
  • Utilizing intact upper arm impedance and shoulder position for natural control feedback.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated natural and automatic regulation of hand impedance based on environmental interaction.
  • Showcased intentional control of prosthetic hand position via estimated shoulder position.
  • Validated independent control of position and stiffness without cognitive burden or interference with intact limb function.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed interface provides intuitive and natural control of prosthetic hand impedance and position.
  • Variable stiffness actuation (VSA) combined with sEMG-based tele-impedance control enhances prosthetic functionality for ADL.
  • The system is easy to use, requires minimal training, and does not impede the control of intact body segments.
